Working and being in Greek Life?

[AOII Angel]

I'm surprised that a national representative would have that opinion of greek members. I'd hope that after traveling to other chapters, she'd see that many women have to work during college! My parents did not want me to work while I was in school, but my dad lost his job during my first semester at school. I had a full paid scholarship, so the only thing I had to worry about was paying my dues. Every summer and winter break, I saved all of my money I made working in a doctor's office as a "chart girl." I had to be VERY careful with my money so that I'd have enough to last the whole semester.

Yeah I was surprised too and I think she started to understand after spending the week with us and I'm sure after going to some of the other chapters she came to understand too.

I think it's interesting the variety of jobs and reasons why people had them.
